Makakuha ng Karagdagang Tulong sa Pagbabayad ng Inyong Mga Gastusin sa Gamot sa Medicare
Extra Help is a Medicare program to help people with limited income and resources pay for their Medicare prescription drug coverage, such as plan premiums, deductibles, copays or coinsurance. Additionally, those who qualify will not have a late enrollment penalty.
Pagiging Kuwalipikado para sa Karagdagang Tulong
To qualify for Extra Help, you must have Medicare and have limited income and resources. You must also reside in one of the fifty states or the District of Columbia. You may automatically qualify for Extra Help If you have Medicare and meet any of these conditions:
- Ganap kayong saklaw ng Medicaid
- Makakatanggap kayo ng tulong mula sa Medicaid program ng inyong estado sa pagbabayad ng inyong mga premium sa Part B (sa isang Medicare Savings Program)
- You get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits from Social Security
If you qualify for Extra Help, you'll receive a purple letter in the mail from Medicare about your Extra Help. It’s important to keep this letter for your records. If you receive this letter, you don't need to apply for Extra Help.
Pag-apply para sa Karagdagang Tulong
If you don’t automatically qualify for Extra Help, you can apply at any time. You’ll need to complete Social Security’s application for the Medicare Extra Help program in one of the following ways.
- By Phone: Call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY users call 1-800-325-0778)
- Online: Complete an application using Social Security's Online Application Form
Tandaan na kung kuwalipikado kayo para sa Karagdagang Tulong at wala pa kayong saklaw sa gamot sa Medicare (Part D), dapat kayong sumali sa isang Medicare Advantage plan na may Pagsaklaw sa Inireresetang Gamot o sa isang hiwalay na Plano sa Inireresetang Gamot ng Medicare para magamit ang Karagdagang Tulong.

If you receive Extra Help from Medicare, your monthly plan premium will be lower than what it would be if you did not receive Extra Help. The amount of extra help you receive will determine your total monthly plan premium. The Premium Subsidy Chart shows you what your monthly plan premium will be if you receive extra help.
